How do you come to that conclusion wyl?

Seems to me we have one of the better ones.

Not saying it is necessarily the easiest but looks fairly good to me.

The Mileage we cover must be factored in stronger than what it is....it is not the only factor, but travel fatigue does occur

Then how come WCE seem to have very little problem last year.

How come Brisbane won 3 in a row.

How come Sydney played in 2 GF's in a row and won 1 and lost the other by less than a goal to the WCE.

It seems to me that good sides win and poor sides don't.

There may be a small amount of problem but it seems to me it is a handy excuse.

Oh we had to go all the way to Perth last week and we were so tired this week.

We had better get a grasp of the problem if it is that big or we will be wandering in the wilderness forever.

you are not factoring in all the "Juice" those teams used....do you remember all the syringes that were in the Brisbane rooms when Lethal was there?

Twice any other team....Travel is a factor, not saying we don't have to master it.

Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning.

Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

Maybe Noble Game doesn't like wet feet Redleg, good luck on tuesday.

Mate I think we are having the same discussion we have had before.

I am sure we are just discussing degrees.

I think we are going to agree to disagree on this one.

Unless he is injured, it was a pathetic run. Hopefully tuesday will be better.

Has anyone noticed the huge amount of new topics started daily. It seems like every thought gets its own topic.

By golly you're right.

I think I might start a thread on that very subject.

Just saw the GWS calendar setup on the news and Sheeds had Ward and Davis beside him. Captain and Vice Captain or Co Captains?

Davis was considered not long after news of going to GWS/leaving Adelaide as captain material.

Both Davis and Ward are fine young, honest men and would be capable of leading the new club.

That may well be so Redleg, but the D'Land ministry of Cultural Enlightenment and Propaganda has decreed that anything and anyone associated with GW$ must be mercilessly castigated, vilified and denounced at every possible opportunity. Your Forum expects every Poster to do his duty. Remember, loose lips sink ships.

GWS intraclub game tonight at Moore Park in Sydney @ 6.30pm.

I hope the condition of the ground's improved since I last was there. In the late 80s I would not have played the under 16s there!

One of those Under 16's picked up Voldemort last night and even tackled him one or two times.

Things are going well out there at Bleaktown.

Black Caviar, what can you say? Possibly the best this country has produced. Untouched and runs them off their feet. I feel privileged to have seen her run. Wow. I just feel so excited and it gives me hope of getting another good horse one day, one that I can think about all day, in between thinking about my grand daughter and the MFC.

And now for something completely different !

Mark Twain visited our shores ( as well as India , New Zealand etc ) around the end of the 19th century and wrote a book about it .

This book is out in the public domain . You could bookmark it and read it at your leisure .

I am reading Wild Horses, a book by Dick Francis, with as usual, his use of the horse racing world as an ingredient.

Toss in John Grisham and the the Red Fox and you've got a Trifecta :)

I can see us resting a few players in the opening NAB cup and playing all of the rookies that are fit.

i was wondering about this, will we go about the NAB sup the usual way by playing the younger brigade and experimenting or will it be used as valuable experience in learning the new game plan/structures etc. It feels odd to say this about the pre season comp but i think i would be dissappointed if we didnt play our best available side even with the risk of injuries or whatever

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
